SCRT + Chemo Targeted Immuno-neoadjuvant Therapy for High-risk pMMR/MSS RC

Summary

To explore the efficacy and safety of an intensified treatment regimen consisting of short-course radiotherapy followed by mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combined with precise targeted therapy (based on RAS/BRAF status: cetuximab for wild-type, bevacizumab for mutant) and a PD-1 monoclonal antibody, compared with short-course radiotherapy followed by mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy alone, in high-risk locally advanced pMMR/MSS rectal adenocarcinoma through a prospective, randomized controlled phase III clinical study, providing high-level evidence-based medical evidence to establish a superior neoadjuvant treatment strategy for this population.

2. Patients who have participated in or are currently participating in other clinical trials within 4 weeks prior to enrollment;
3. A history of having received anti-PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, or any other specific T-cell costimulatory or checkpoint pathway-targeted therapy;
4. Severe electrolyte abnormalities;
5. Presence of gastrointestinal diseases, such as active ulcers in the stomach or duodenum, ulcerative colitis, or tumors with active bleeding that have not been resected; or other conditions that may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation; or gastrointestinal perforation that has not healed after surgical treatment;
6. History of arterial thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis within 6 months; history of bleeding or evidence of bleeding tendency within 2 months; or patients receiving high-dose anticoagulation therapy;
7. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test before the first dose; or female participants and their partners who are unwilling to strictly practice contraception during the study period;
